History
It was years ago many years before the coming of the modern ages when a man dressed in silks, and emblazoned with gem dotted rings appeared in the desert. He had a spark in his eye and a fire in his soul that burned the skies. He had found what he was looking for in this wasteland. It was a seed of creation, a nexus of magic that glowed bright and moved with liquid form. The man spent many days there at the site attuning his power with the nexus.
It was a week later when the ground rumbled and a city started to form from the surroundings. Creation was taking place fueled by magic. Great spires and domes formed from the environment, simple houses arose from the ground, fountains started to appear, the streets solidified into cobble stones. The man stood up as the creator of the city. It would be a place of magic with the great nexus in the center of the city inside a great dome of pillars, and a glass dome.
People came to the city and generations started to form. The city always seemed big enough for the ever growing population. Magic was everywhere in the city growing plants for harvest, keeping the wells full, the lights lit, and powering a communication network with the touch of runes and a thought you could talk to anyone. The city was raided a score of times however it is said that for every three people one of them were magicians. The raiders were repelled, but the Sharif of the city decided then to shroud the place from eyes.
The great city disappeared from sight when the great magicians of the city gathered around the nexus in the center of the city and cast a barrier to keep out intruders. From that day on no one came to the city, and raiders never raided again. The city was gone from sight, from sound, from senses. Only the families of the city were able to see and enter into it. Many years went by and people began to grow sad because no one new came to the city.
It was years into the sadness that the Sharif of Venustas decided to allow his people to leave. Thus began a growth in the city of new people once again. The law allowed residents to grant a visitor the right to enter the city, and eventually if the visitor so wished they would be granted citizenship. This was a joyous time for all and the city of magic was a lit again with happiness and growth.
